[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you're handling the news just fine. My son, who is 6, was given an Asperger's diagnosis at 4. Now, as he's gotten older, he has improved in many ways and is doing well in first grade. We've also recently learned that he has ADHD and have started treating that, too. Aside from his labels, he is a happy, fun, lovable kid but with a ton of quirks. I choose to focus on those great things that he can do, and not so much on the things that are hard for him. There are worse things in life that Asperger's. With early intervention, chances are good that he will have a full, independent life. Asperger's kids have average to above average intelligence but often have to be taught the social skills that others take for granted.They are highly capable of learning proper social interaction, although it doesn't come naturally to them.[/quote]
